 Thomas I. Kinney, who has had respon- sible place at the rolling mill for twelve years past. was surprised and presented with beautiful marble clock Saturday night by his fellow employees. ". G. Mon tague, one of the officers of the company, made the speech, to which MT. Kinney re- piled. All were much pleased ito bestow this testimonial of regard on MT.

 Contractor Flagg, who has had probably the largest contract at the Clock shop for some years past, has resigned, some criticism reports say having been made regarding the quality of the work turned out and one of his foremen, Phiny Race, having been dis charged without the matter having been referred to him. Contractor Hanson, who has also had an important contract in the same hop, has also resigned, fault having been found with the work. In both cases the contractors were required to make perfect work which had been pronounced imper- fectly done. These changes caused consider able talk at the shop and considerable speculation is rife as to what the upshot will be and who, if anybody, will be the success sors of the two contractors.

A Story of Love and DrOwsiness From
 Pennaylvanfa's WfIds.

JoHNsTowN. Pa., May 29.-A prominent young farmer of Trough Greek Valley has been paying his attentions to the daughter of another we'll known farmer in the vicinity. He saddled his best horse and rode to his girls house to call on her the other evening. He was so insensibls to her charms that he fell asleep on the sofa where he WAS sitting early in the evening. When he awoke it was daylight. The sleepy swain hurried from the house. As he went out he saw that g paper was pinned to the lapel of his coat. On it was written: "You are not wide awake enough to suit me-" The young man went to where he had left his horse, but the horse was gone. He discovered his saddle on the roof peak of the farm and pitchfork had been thrust through it to keep it there. The lover did not tarry to recover it, but started home afoot He had to walk three miles. His horse was home. The saddle was sent for and the drowsy youth will have to look elsewhere for wife

AN EARTH0UAKE IN MEXICO

AN EA JAKE IN MEXICO.
 Houses Sway As They Were Ships at | Sea-CIocks Stopped and General Con sternatfon Among the People.
 CITY OF MEXICO, May 29.-A heavy earth quake shock was felt in this city and through 1 out the valley early this morning. At ex- actly 2:50 o'clock there was felt violent shaking of the earth or sort of lifting motion which lasted five seconds. Next there came,
 prefaced by g low roar and accompanied by a
 stiff breeze, violent oscillation of the earth from east to west, which awoke nearly eyery-
 one, lasting thirty-nine seconds. Houses
 swayed as if they were ships at sea and per-
 sons arising from their beds were in many
 cases thrown with force to the tioor Bells
 were rung in the hotels, and everywhere
 doors were forced open. Then came still
 another oscillation of much violence, pro-
 ceeding from north to south During the shock crockerY was thrown down aud pie.
 lures were demolished in several houses.
 Then followed a scene of general confusion, dogs barking and horses neighing and stamping in their stables. Thousands of persons dressed themselves and did not go to bed again. Reports received to-day by Gov ernor c. E. Ballos of the federal district do not show any fatalities At the School of Mines Secretary Ugalda reports that the seismic instruments showed that. a heavy shock had taken place. Doors were opened all through the School of Mines and the night watchman reported the swaying of the enormous building. The water in the swim ming tank used by the students flowed out over the court yard Clocks everywhere were stopped and there was general sonsternation. The weather to-day is still warm and anoth- er shock is predicted. Last nights shock was much more severe than that of 1882. The heaviest shock of this century occurred here in 1858 when many persons were kill ed. The shock which happened in the night was followed by severe one the next day, the people taking refuge in the streets In 1864 there was also heavy shock and in 1882 a very severe one cracking the front of the parish church and the Sagrario and the walls of the London bank building

Carrying Live Rattlesnake a Mile in
 His Hands.

His Hands.
 RoxBURY, Pa., May 29.-Charles Cox, aged eighteen, works for Morrow R. Skinner in this village. Yesterday while he waz walking along the road about a mile from here he saw a rattlesnake crossing the road ahead of him. He ran up and before the snake could coil caught it with one hand around it's neck and with the other near the tail. Grasping it tightly in that way he carried the snake to the village, the serpent sounding it's rattles, of which there were thir- teen, at every step.
 While the boy held the snake his employer extracted its poison fangs with pair of nip pers and it was placed in 8 cage.

 Superintendent Slaughter of Bolton & Nee- ly's took drive over East Rock Park recent ly, his first visit to the park, and was much struck with it's beauty, but especially with the grand and extended views obtainable from the rocks summit.
